ALONE WITH GOD.

Alone with Thee, my God, alone with Thee;
Thus wouldst Thou have it aNL-tlIus let it
be;
There is Il secret chamber in each mind
Which none can find
But He who made it-none besides can
Its joy or Woe
Oft may enter it, oppressed by care,
And find Thee there
So tuH of 'c0tc1JUL Loce. Thou knoW'st the
Of every sigh.
Then all Thy righteous dealings shall see,
Alone with Thee, my God, alone with Thee.
The joys of earth are like summers day
Fading away;
But in the twilight we may better trace
Thy WondrOuS grace.
The homes of earth are emptied oft by
death,
With chilling breath,
The loved departed guest may ope no more
The Wcll-knoWn door.
Still in that chamber seGEei Thou'lt dwell
with me,
And l with Thee, my God, alone with Thee.
The worlds false voice would bid me enter
That hallowed spot,
And earthly thoughts would follow on the
track
To hold me back,
Or seek TO break the sacred peace within
BY this worlds din;
But, by Thy grace, I'll cast them all aside
Whate'er betide,
And never let that cell deserted be
Where | can dwell alone, my God, with
Thee.
The war may rage. Keep Thou the citadel
And all is ns!k
And when | learn the fullness of Thy love
With Thee above.
When every heart oppressed by hidden
grief
Shall gain relief,
When every weary soul shall find its rest
Amidst the bleSt,
Then all my heart from sin and sorrow
free,
Shall be a temple nae6t, my God, for Thee.

Leaving Lahore day before yesterday
afternoon, a ride of thirty-two miles
brought US to this place, Amritsar,
which name is q combination Of Sanskrit
words. meaning fountain Of immortal
ity." About halfway from Lahore we
passed through the small town Of Atari.
the scene Of one Of the most memorable
cases of ''suttee" in the history of India.
Its gray headed Sikh chief, Sham Singh,
while proceeding against some Moham-
medan enemies of his faith, was Sur
rounded by overpowering numbers, with
no opportunity for escape or prospect OF
assistance. Rather than submit, he
clothed himself in pure white, to denote
a devotion TO his religion unto death, and
placing himself at tho head of his follow
ers, charged the enemy with great brav-
cry, and was killed after performing
many feats of personal gallantry. When
the news was brought to his one and only
wife, she hurriedly had her funeral pyre
prepared, and, in the presence Of the en-
tire Sikh community, mounted 1t com
posedly and deliberately committed
.'suttee"-allowed herself to burn to
death.
Although suffice was frequently re-
sorted to by the Hindoos, yet voluntary
examples of it were exceedingly rare.
That thorough and beautiful love which
would make q woman give up her
earthly life for the possibility Of IN i'm
mediate reunion with her husband does
not seem to have been very common in
India, for, as far as ] can learn, but very
few of the recorded cases Of ''suttee''
were voluntary ones. The case men
toned above is q well authenticated one,
though; and tho loving wife passed out
Of this world believing that her act would
entitle her to the Hindoo promise Of an
immediate reunion in heaven with her
husband, to last as many thousands Of
years as he had hairs on his body.-India

BABY BEASTS AT A zoo.

A Mother Monkey and Her Daughter.
The Jaguar's "Kid"-TheL ioness' Cubs.
Many of the females have become moth
ers, and the most interesting feature yes
terday was to watch the various ways in
which the maternal instinct or care was
manifested. In a cage with the mandrills
and huge rainbow hued balloons, whose
variegated hues in the dazzling sunlight
no painter can portray, are confined
several Macaiques. One of the females
of the latter family some two months
since became a mother, and the little
shaver is just old enough to be interesting.
AS the cage was approached the mother,
with the young one clinging to her breast,
holding on to the hairs, jumped from a
horizontal bar in the middle of the cage
to the parallel upright bars in front, and,
sliding down, mother and daughter sat
on their launches peering out. The
mother monkey never lets the daughter
move but a few inches from her side,
pulling her by the tail when she goes too
far. Sometimes the other monkeys
annoy the mother, but the male mandrill
soon settles them, for he seems to have
taken a great fancy to the little fellow,
and has taken him under his especial at
%tention, and as he is the terror of the
monkey world, and one of the ugliest
animals at the garden, his word is law,
and the mother for the most part is un-
molested. She sat ON her launches and
relished the pieces of pretzels that were
passed through to her, but the daughter
was not old enough to take no%urishment
that way.
The jaguar, which has a kid about
three months old, resents the intrusion of
any impairment eyes, and if the little
fellow has crawled to the front of the
cage, and a visitor looks too sharply,
pulls it snappingly back with her sharp
left paw. When visitors come in num-
bers she seizes it in her mouth and car
ries it to the extreme rear Of the cage,
drops it in the darkness and straw and
quickly comes, with glazing eyes and
cat like tread to the bars, showing her
sharp teeth, with as much as to say:
mo, you shan't have it." Considering
that she has eaten up three litters before,
such precautions seems slightly super
fluous.
The leopardess Lucy also had a young
one that she has manifested SC strong a
desire to cat up that the little girl Kit
tie, who news for her half pound of
chopped beef like a kitten, had to be re-
moved to the adjoining cage, with Tom,
her father, whose fondness for his
daughter is SO great that he allows her to
take the meat out of his mouth. Kittie
is 8 months old. about as large as a cat,
with sharp, cold gray eyes, and spots
that are darker than either those Of her
sire or dam. At night the cub sleeps
with her mother.
The lioness Katie has three cubs, now
IL months old-Grover Cleveland, Fran
els and Fanny any one of them big
enough to whip a bull dog and able to do
it, too, which have to be fed In a cage by
themselves, where. when their food is
thrown in, they vault over each others
backs and rush to and fro as playful as
kittens. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Died Of Bright's disease has become
a familiar phrase in obituary notices. 1t
has become SO much more commo that
the general impression is hat the disease
is more prevalent than in former periods.
The statistics Of the New York bureau OF
vital statistics seem to verify this i'm
preston. In 1871 Bright's disease was
seventh in order of fatality. In 1885 it
was fifth. In 1871 the total deaths were
60. 070; of Bright's disease, 1880. In
1885 it supplied 1904 out of n total OF
1859; cases of this disease increased in
fourteen years 100 per cent, while the
total number OF deaths increased only 80

1t has been estimated that q Greenland
right whale, fifty or sixty feet long, will
travel at the rate Of nine to ten knots an
hour; but finner whales will swim at
higher rates Of speed, while the sperm
whale will propel itself twelve knots in
an hour. Whales eighty feet in length
frequently visit British waters, one of
this size being stranded at Longniddry a
few years ago. 1t weighed seventy-four
tons, and its tail measured eighteen to
twenty feet across the fukes. Assuming
this leviathan travelled at the higher rate
of speed twelve knots) it would, accord

by them as a depot when their road IS
built into CHEYENNE. The governor did

emporium, and the ground upon which it
stands, but it is safe to predict that the
price paid will not fall far short of $780,
